Replacing the Air Filter on the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Air filter

To keep the engine of the Citroen C3 efficient, you need to replace the air filter at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule, more often if driving on dusty roads. Open the bonnet and start by disconnecting the air intake hose, removing the manifold hose, and unscrewing the metal clamp. You can then remove the filter box. Next, unscrew the six screws securing the cover using a cross-head screwdriver. Once the cover is open, remove the old filter, clean the interior, and install a new filter element, ensuring the rubber edge is positioned correctly. Close the cover by tightening the six screws and reassemble the box in its place, restoring the connections.
